Explanation of Responses:
(1)	Special long-term incentive partnership units ("LTIP Units") in Ashford Hospitality Limited Partnership, the Issuer's operating subsidiary ("Subsidiary"). Vested LTIP Units, upon achieving parity with the Common Limited Partnership Units of the Subsidiary ("Common Units"), are convertible into Common Units at the option of the Reporting Person. See Footnote 4 discussing the convertibility of Common Units.
(2)	The LTIP Units were issued to the Reporting Person under the Issuer's 2011 Stock Incentive Plan in lieu of 25% of the annual cash retainers (as such cash retainers were reduced in March 2020) that would otherwise be payable to the Reporting Person under the Issuer's non-employee director compensation program for a one-year period and are fully vested.
(3)	Neither the LTIP Units nor the Common Units have an expiration date.
(4)	Common Units are redeemable for cash or, at the option of the Issuer, convertible into shares of the Issuer's common stock on a 1-for-1 basis as described in Amendment No. 5 to the Seventh Amended and Restated Agreement of the Limited Partnership dated December 13, 2017.
